I really look forward to In Time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tZb2EU8NNw
Filming looks really annoying in Battleship but film could be okay.
In Time looks cool, like that sort of thing, although does anyone actually need to see it after the world's longest trailer/spoiler?? Was pretty good I thought, apart from the awful soppy ending, I nearly puked at the pendant bit. The rest of it was well done tho.
Sucker Punch
Errr... not really a movie in the usual sense of the word? Source Code Pretty good, agree with comments way upthread about the ending having all kinds of things wrong with it. Kung Fu Panda 2 Completely pointless, but well enough made and distracting enough to pass the time. Thor Actually slept through 90% of this. Should I try to watch it properly on the way home? Had a reasonable old school authentic feel. I say yay, watch again when you aren't too exhausted to maintain conciousness.
Sucks that studios are preproduction in like 100 of them for the next 8 years.
Kind of wanted to see Thor, just since Keneth Branagh (sp?) directed it. Super?
I liked that movie a lot, it makes a profound statement. I think the movie is about how violence is OK as long as you are the good guy in a superhero movie. The 'climax' of the Bolty story is an example of this....... I repeat:
"an authentic old-school feel" in parts. That's the combination of Branagh and Hopkins. How could it be shit? Its got Anthony Hopkins in it. He doesnt make shit movies. has been dialling it in at least since 1995, except for The World's Fastest Indian.
But I will see Thor, I like who's involved all round. On another note, saw The Thin Red Line again to see if I had changed my mind on it (only Malick film I didnt like). Appreciated the camerawork a bit more this time round but the movie still doesnt work for me much. http://vimeo.com/15704652 comedy, romance
http://vimeo.com/7809605 try not to read anything on the page, just hit fullscreen (with hd!) right away, it will be even more interesting. might be somewhat disturbing and it sure is melancholic thanks to the music. it has its flaws but deeply impressed me. architecture and stuff so definitely something for "us". and for czg http://vimeo.com/99317 A weird movie for sure, I liked it, for me the film is about the fact that life is beautiful, and should be cherished. Even if you are in the worst place in the world, after the worst times of your life, with no chance of survival, life is still beautiful. Or else what the hell was all of the camerawork for? Cause if deffo wasn't the plot......
some of it was for what you say ricky, but some of it was to get you into the soldier's point of view for that particular assault, ie at ground level, wading through the grass.
... to quote Witt. I believe that's the central question. Surely related to what you said Ricky. From the narrator's point of view, we all live in paradise (I think that's what all the beautiful imagery is about), so he cannot comprehend why there is so much violence and war in the world.
At least, that's what I took from it. That's how I would describe the main point, the duality of goodans evil within the same beings.
But unlike other Malick films, I just didn't feel anything overall yeah, see my comments above re bookends, but still the best thing I've seen this year so far.
can anyone think of any films that meet the following criteria:
- british - low on violence/language/nudity - good (bit of leeway on this one admittedly ;) ) - relatively mainstream (so easy to get hold of / license or whatever) it's for someone at work who's putting on a film event. they previously used the king's speech if that's anything to go on. they didn't say how recent but mentioned rejected ideas as far back as 2000 any ideas appreciated :)
